The question I am asking is: does resignation absolve one of criminal charges? when you make such statement, does it not say much about the aim of such charges, talking of the ill fated intent of the executive? I hold my peace for now!

I am surprised that many people cannot detect when they are being deceived and scammed by misleading headlines. The comments I read shows the crook reporter succeeded in his agenda at mind control.

That said there is no where the SGF said anything close to that. The journalist only mischievously drew the inference. What the SGF said is even in the case of Salisu Buhari in 1999 he resigned and the then govt didn't prosecute him. He didn't say this govt would do that.

Awolowo died in jailed in the hands of the north after his cowardly betrayal, MkO the same.... yet they are still northern ass lickers...
Every other region knows SW is a scared cowardly sect hence they can go there kidnap and killl.... They won't fight back only talk skirm and beg

Which Awolowo died in prison? Stop spewing ignorance and learn. Start by googling Obafemi Awolowo.

DerKaiser:
Hahaha!!!!

You are even on the same level as the OP with your generic and weak outburst.

Whenever you write, attempt to make it comprehensible. Paragraphs were invented for a reason, you know?

Honestly some of you should really brush up on your grammar on these forums.

It is often gut-wrenching reading what you people write here sometimes.

Don't get emotional over a simple suggestion.

Another lame journalist-wannabe with an awful way of writing. Smh.

You are very funny. Is that why every sentence is a paragraph for you! Mr paragraph!

DerKaiser:
For an aspiring journalist, your use of English is abysmal.

Clean it up please. I was struggling to understand some parts of your write up.

You must be one huge hypocrite!

JimiOgunlola:
Look at what yoruba race have turned into. Can Aisha offer to shake the Sultan?

These people have degraded the our yoruba custom, why some still support fulani is beyond me.

So if Aisha Buhari offers to shake Obama and shakes her, Sultan is greater than Obama!

For your mind.

Mopolchi:
I tried it with firefox, and I saw a message that popped up thanking me for my interest in the programme.

same thing here bro.

Macelliot:
I dont support homo. but killing is bad.

2000yrs ago, In the days of the palestinians.. Among the Israelites, anyone caught commiting Adultery would be stoned to death according to the mosaic law of moses..

A woman who commited adultery was caught, brought to Yeshua(Jesus). The mob told Jesus that anyone caught committing adultery will be stoned to death.
Jesus told them saying, "for anyone of you who hasn't committed a wrong should first throw the first stone at her".
None of them could do so...

So who are you to condemn others?

And after telling her he didn't condemn her, he told her to 'sin no more'.

Desyree:
what kind of training lasts for 2 years? after the two years training what's next? Graduate to be paid 23,000 naira per month? they just want to indirectly recruit graduates with low pay. they don't have the guts to open up to the masses so they disguised it as training

No wonder you are asking such questions.
Why not read it all over again?

Bern1992:
How many likes for MR PRESIDENT

500,000 likes!

If and if indeed they killed 2 policemen and attacked military personnel, they really wanted to die. I said IF. Military are trained to shoot and kill.

Protesters should be CAREFUL when confronting soldiers. If your fellow protesters start to go violent you should know it is time to disengage sharperly.

Most of the people condemning this soldiers act are either in US or Europe or those who would drive on the wrong side of the road too. Those in America or Europe, when there is traffic do you leave your lane and cross to the other lane to face on coming traffic? No. Why won't you do it? Because you would probably be arrested and fined. Good. But in your dear country no one is fined or arrested on those roads-Ore Expressway. Why?Maybe because there are no officials to do so. Even if there are FRSC on the way how would they arrest and fine 400 vehicles that have violated?
'Haaa! 400' you say. Yes sometimes even more. And these things happen regularly. Someone has to take the bull by the horn and do something even though 'illegal'. Desperate situations call for desperate measures. If there were sanctions for erring drivers this wouldn't be called for.

adimsmt:
Nigeria will never secceed as a country if soldiers duties are properties destructions. And please you go and examing your head for supporting corruption. For anyone to commit an act of vandalism, it's criminal offence and it's also corruption no matter who that person was and correcting wrong deed by doing wrong is not the way to go.

Nothing. My dad and mum let me and my brothers watch them make love. So what's a TV sex scene? Lol

No wonder many 13 year olds are no longer virgins.

Omojuwa, this is uncalled for as it serves no purpose. It is in fact meaningless. Even though I dont usually agree with Fayose what he has done about the menace of killer herdsmen is a step in the right direction. And here you are trying to mock him but you have successfully failed at it.

Fayose is deploying resources that is at his disposal to tackle a problem confronting his people. Ambode is doing the same with the resources he has. By the way Fayose hunters would be more effective in securing the remote villages that the Lagos police who cannot do without BB and whatsapp. See Northeast. The Civilian JTF assisted with intel since they know the terrain better.

Commend what is good and don't be a ...

The last thing the Minister said was that people should ensure they get prepaid meters. At least, you don't get to pay for what you don't use. But people won't make attempt to get it or pressurize their landlord to get one. Rather they would whine and curse and DO NOTHING!

In our house we told our landlady to buy it from the money the next tenant pays. It was even almost like a condition for rent payment. She paid and we had to follow up and follow up until we got it!

The nasty corrupt disco officials at the neighborhood office would want to create bottlenecks for you because they know they won't get reconnection fee and other monies they get once you are prepaid. Rather, try to go their main office around you. That was how we got our prepaid meter. And if they don't bring power for days we won't pay shishi.

This system needs all of us to work. The minister can't monitor your meter processing for you. Do your own part too.

Finally, do you think a former governor who was awarded best governor in Nigeria by some bodies would suddenly be brainless? I don't think so. Some people don't want this govt work and they celebrate any ill that happens.

MrPresident1:
This story of 250m million pounds is a very useless story and it portrays us Nigerians as very ignorant and st.upid people.

250 million pounds or dollars is chicken change by any means in the world, Britain is planning to repair its aging and waning Trident nuclear fleet with 100billion pounds and here they are making stupid noise about 250million pounds. That is to show you their priority.

You Nigerians better open your eyes and stop being ignorant, this is the same Britain that General Idi Amin, one of Africa's greatest leaders took a collection for in the 1970s. They were bankrupt!

We are just a silly people.

Until we return to God wholly and truly, there will be no respite from all these insults on the blackman.

I beg your pardon! Did you say Idi Amin is one of the greatest Africa's leaders?

Splinz:
Okay, lets reason together. You see, it is not everything that's recorded in the bible, i.e, the day to day activities of bible's characters. This style of writing is not only common in the bible, but also in the literatures of the world. Why? Here, "Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were EVERY ONE of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written"- John 21:25. That's it! If the world itself cannot contain just Jesus ministry alone, how much more detailing every thing about creation?

Now, the point I'm trying to make is this. In Genesis 4:1, Cain is born. The very next verse, Abel is born too. The point: after Cain was born, definitely, a lot of time has passed before Abel was born! Also note that it is in verse 1 that Adam knew his wife, and it is still in that verse that she bare Cain. So at least you should know that nine months has passed since Adam knew his wife before she bare Cain!

Coming down to verse 14, certainly, a lot of years has passed before Cain slew his brother, judging from the fact that one was a farmer and the other, a shepherd. That means they were adults who could take responsibilities!

So, it is very much possible and likely that at this stage of their lives, their parents may have already produce other children in order to be "fruitful and multiply". I hope this helps?

Very reasonable answer!

Pavarottii:
Naija which way? And am sure u r a graduate.
How much is ur feeding and transport? To get a good meal a day, even if u eat once is about 500naira. Plus ur transport; and d stress attached.
Except u are working from home. My dear....
This is Modern Day Slavery.

It is far better than doing nothing. While on the low pay he gains experience and may opportunities for better offers. Go ahead bro.

I believe they are also sponsored to cripple this administration. But come to think of it, the Niger Delta people will lose most! I am almost certain they have been given billions by their sponsors while they tell the ordinary Niger deltan they are fighting for them.

Look at Boko Haram. If indeed it was meant to destabilize GEJ govt, who suffers from the destruction the most? Whose children won't have schools to go for many years? Who won't have man power for industries because people have relocated from NE? Who will live in IDP camps in their own state? Of course the Northeast people!

Now to the militants blowing up pipelines, your people will suffer it most. Nigeria has been through a lot and I think these attacks can never cripple the economy. It will make things tougher. Yes. But as a nation we will develop other means of revenue while we try to secure oil installations.

I hope Edwin Clarke will rally the elders of ND and talk sense to these boys heads.

Finally, I say in Patience's voice, 'Continue!'

What kind of mischievous post is this? Where did Sanusi say it was Ameachi that leaked the letter to OBJ?

If I be MOD you for don hear am.

tdayof:
The funlani issue isn't the issue of the Nigerian army.
In a modern country, the police will take it up with its swat team.

Call for the 2IC mopol and not the GOC.

Yinmu! SWAT for Fulani herdsmen(terrorist)? Do SWAT have jungle training? In all American films I've watched, SWAT operate in urban centres.

Besides, Nigeria Police have no SWAT team so the best bet is military.

donjerry1:
Am really hating Buhari for dis, y is he so silent on dis issue.

Sebi he don talk. Why are you saying he is silent?

moshino:
The 'ABOBAKU' concept is also a Yoruba custom. How's is that working out for you!

Everybody don wise up! It was reported the the ABOBAKU of the late Ooni ran away! Lol!

Wesely01:
Where has Soyinka been since the whole thing was turning into this huge mess? Oh the man also was waiting to see if he would be giving SSA to president abi, during the past administration I could remember vividly that he voiced out on a every single thing GEJ was doing and now it's been more than 4 months with no fuel, no light, no food, killings by herdsmen and his just knowing about it. Nigerians with Hypocrisy.

Please, weigh what you say in a public space and don't say things that are abrasive to reason. Soyinka; SSA to PMB! Are you alright?

Or are a child? If you were not born at the time, then know today that Soyinka won Nobel Prize in Literature in 1987-the first African to win such. I believe you know what the prize is.

SimeoNwabekeyi:
Who is this kid? He is now an heartless man for coming out to say the fact when your own leaders are crying and doing fasting rubbish. So killings in Enugu is now Soyinkas problem? Some of you kids should be restricted from posting on this section.

Thank you. I don't know if he is a kid or not but surely he has much to learn about historical developments in Nigeria.

Does he have an inkling of the courage and sacrifice of people like Soyinka during military rule? Our he put his life on the line along with intellectuals like Prof Osundare?

TANTUMERGO007:
you want progress from an old man?

What is wrong with being old? Do you know Winston Churchill? He was UK prime minister when he was about 80.

engrchykae:
what imaginary benefits?the benefits we never had after IBB devalued the naira.
These guys are gradually exposing themselves as culprits in IBB's coup against Buhari and the reason is clear,he refused to devalue the naira and the good boy maradona aka ibb came and did the bidding of his anglo american masters.
Please guys read through this frustration and see the threat on how pmb have not learnt his lessons after he was booted out from office.
If we devalue today,next tomorrow they will call for devaluation again ellusively hoping that there is an imaginary benefits.
They said he came to power as a strongman that will place the interest of Nigeria above that of foreigners and that buhari will stand up to foreigners.

Your comment is very insightful.

Indices of a progressive nation

Some indicators show whether a country is progressive or otherwise. If those indicators are clearly present, such country is on the way to great attainment even if the present reality is not impressive. (Those Indicators are not physical and tangible per se. They are seen by persons who are discerning). In Nigeria only few of those progressive indices are seen.

Just about the only indicator of progress for the Nigerian State is calibre of the present leadership at the Central government, especially in the executive arm. The Federal executive, led by President Buhari, has many persons of great vision and discipline. And since the Nigerian federal system is skewed towards the government at the centre, the effect the current calibre of leaders at the centre is huge. However, I cannot vouch for the quality of persons at the federal legislature and state executives.

Looking at society at large, the progressive indices are clearly deficient. Firstly, the Nigerian society has a penchant (and contented tolerance) for disorder and injustice. A prime example is our behaviour at the filling station during fuel scarcity. The legitimate queue which is usually a line is turned into multiple lines. Then another set of uncivil persons (I am tempted to call them miscreants) lay siege to the exit gate of the filling station. They block it and thus creating a situation in which the only way for persons who have bought fuel to leave is to admit some of them into the fuel station! They gleefully cheat the hundreds of persons queuing legitimately. (A person of shallow thinking might retort that we would not witness such behaviour if there was no scarcity in the first place. He confuses the effect with the cause and turns reasoning on its head.)

Many of us have the chicken mentality. The chicken only sees what is near ahead of it. We think of now now. Few people think ahead. Even if today’s exhilaration and excitement turns to doom and death tomorrow for us and many others, we seem not to care. A lecturer collects money to pass students. He doesn’t care if the students will kill his children through their defective work tomorrow. He just doesn’t care. He only cares what he will eat today!

Lastly, have you ever seem an advanced society with filth and squalor all about? Nigerians are unclean! The graduate as well as the unschooled take bottles of soft drink and then the empty bottles fly out the window. The question is who will pick up that filth of yours? There are the waste management people. Yes. But their job is to move the refuse in your drums to the litter dump not to sweep and pick up the outcome of your irresponsibility. Open defecation and host of houses without any toilet are matters for another day.

I know the only positive index I can see, which is quality of leadership at the central executive, can influence society. However, the bulk of the movement to progress is to be undertaken by the ordinary man and woman on the street. This movement is slothful.

Very simple man! Give Nigerians just this things! Keep d rest of the money. Me, I really don't care

Now that kind of mindset of yours is the reason we have not been able to get the most basic human needs! How could you say they should keep the rest of the money? Have you ever seen, even in your dreams, a nation that throws probity to the trash and the same time advancing?

While I think Fayose is quite disgraceful in his actions as governor, if you watch the video carefully you would find out that Fayose's lip movement indicated UNIMPEACHABLE not impeachable. This is product of VIDEO EDITING. Even the presenter, what she actually said was UNIMPEACHABLE not impeachable.

Anyway, he has maligned so many people so this may be his payback. But the truth must be told even about your ENEMY.
